Hi all. My girlfriend has been offered a job in Malaysia in August at a school in KL. I will be going with her. I may look to get some work in Malaysia but I dont need to and could live without the work. I could also work remotely for UK clients of mine so I dont really need to "Work" in KL. I've tried to work out what visa I need but its a bit confusing. Can I apply for a temporary residence permit as my girlfriend will have a work permit. Or will I just need to keep extending tourist visas? Does it matter that we are not married?
Any help would be amazing thanks.

One option is to apply for a social visit pass (long term) as the common-law spouse of an employment holder (page 25 https://esd.imi.gov.my/portal/pdf/TC-ES … r-2017.pdf)
Visa runs are problematic these days and after two or so, entry can be denied for 30 days. Vietnam and Thailand also have restrictions.
